Hi, new here!
I've had Franklin for a couple years, got him before I knew really what he needed but I learned quickly thanks to forums, thank goodness for the internet.
He was a hatchling when I got him and he started in one of the Zilla starter tanks with basking area for a while. I finally got him upgraded to a 55 gallon, I know that his permanent home will need to be bigger and plan on getting at least 100 gallon tank when I move to my own house. I put sand in the bottom of the tank and am going to be building an ATBA soon, it has been difficult due to it being a bow front tank.
I was ready to get him in the new tank so for now he is using the large floating dock until the ATBA is built. Anyway, I will post another thread in the habitat section when I get the whole thing set up, for now I wanted to share a picture of Franklin. (I am still having a hard time figuring out if he is male or female even though he is about 5 inches long)
Here is Franklin enjoying the new sand, he has been eating it quite a bit, thanks to the forum I have found that hopefully he will stop and is just exploring it because it is new.
